Parotid Gland Tumors in Infants and Children

Abstract
Eleven cases of parotid tumors in children under 16 years of age are considered. The series accounts for 1.6 % of 657 cases of parotid tumor of all ages observed during the Period 1930–1975 and consists of 6 mixed tumors, 2 mucoepidermoid tumors, 2 angiomas, and 1 benign lymphoepithelial lesion. All the patients underwent surgical treatment, 6 radical and 5 limited. The results of treatment point out that mixed tumors require radical parotidectomy. The attitude towards pediatric parotid tumors is discussed.
